  ANJOU 
  — 
  Beurre 
  d'Anjou 
  (3010) 
  A 
  large, 
  fine 
  

  

  pear 
  that 
  is 
  buttery 
  and 
  melting, 
  with 
  a 
  sprightly 
  flavor. 
  

   The 
  tree 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  grower, 
  very 
  productive, 
  and 
  an 
  early 
  

   bearer; 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  best 
  varieties 
  for 
  the 
  home 
  and 
  

   orchard 
  trade. 
  Anjou 
  is 
  partially 
  resistant 
  to 
  fire 
  blight. 
  

  

  KIEFFER 
  (3016) 
  Grown 
  in 
  all 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  

   States 
  and 
  Canada, 
  the 
  tree 
  is 
  practically 
  immune 
  to 
  

   blight, 
  very 
  thrifty 
  in 
  growth, 
  and 
  bears 
  consistently 
  

   heavy 
  crops. 
  Fruits 
  are 
  large, 
  colored 
  golden 
  yellow, 
  

   juicy, 
  often 
  gritty, 
  and 
  of 
  poor 
  quality 
  for 
  fresh 
  use. 
  

   They 
  are 
  quite 
  good 
  for 
  culinary 
  purposes, 
  however, 
  and 
  

   keep 
  well 
  into 
  the 
  winter. 
  

  

  HELPFUL

  pear 
  varieties 
  are 
  self-unfruit- 
  

   ful 
  and 
  should 
  be 
  interplanted 
  with 
  other 
  varieties. 
  Seckel 
  

   and 
  Bartlett 
  will

  and 
  where 
  

   these
